A CLASSIC BRAID...WITH A TWIST

Amanda Seyfried

Let's start with something easy. OK, kind of easy. Blow hair dry with a volumizer like Blow Pro Body By Blow No Crunch Body Builder and a few drops of hair oil (we're fans of L'Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil)—you'll need both lift at the roots and shine to pull this one off. Once hair is dry, tease the crown, smooth over it with a comb, and gather the top section into a half-up ponytail. Twist the ponytail into a loose knot and let the tail hang. Starting at the nape, weave the bottom section of hair into a classic braid and secure it with a clear elastic. Pin the tail of the chignon into the braid with a bobby pin. Piece of cake, right?
